I’m happy to see that he has apparently now run through ALL the ways there are to put this off. I certainly hope that there are some SERIOUSLY stinking facts in there, and that he gets his well deserved just deserts.
Great news! The Supreme Court, in a one-word order (“denied”) rejected Donald Trump’s petitition to quash a subpoena against the Mazars accounting group for release of Trump’s tax returns.
Donald Trump — locked away in his bunker, sucking his thumb and clinging tightly to his tax returns (which he had promised to release after the never ending fictional “audit” was completed) — was not the one being sued for the tax records.
It is the Mazars accounting group being sued — Trump’s accountants who did all the work, prepared all the files, and have all the records, probably far more complete than anything Trump has.
They have known for months that this decision was pending, have all the records ready and prepared, and they will now be promptly turned over to prosecutors. And no, it is not a “fishing expedition” as the whiny Trump disingenuously tried to assert. It is based on solid probable cause rooted in the varying valuations of property, income and other assets for different books establishing reasonable suspicion that there were not only two sets of books being kept, but that it was being done knowingly and by malicious, illegal, CRIMINAL intent.
…and that doesn’t even include the hush money stuff, illegal campaign expenditures that were never declared and other outright legal offenses.
Oh, and it is not just the tax records, it is the entire accounting file — all the notes, correspondence, underlying documents, and multiple sets of books being kept (which prove fraud) to show low values for tax purposes and high values when applying for loans.
Trump is going to have a hard time campaigning, for himself or others, from the Big House.
So the SCOTUS, our highest court, finally ran out of excuses for covering up for Trump. I think we should look at their tax returns while we are at it.
Trump is not concerned with the cheating that he may have done on his taxes. After all EVERYBODY does it and besides as Trump he’s entitled to cheat and everybody knows it and is supposed to let him get away with it.
What Trump is concerned about is that the records show that his net worth is negative. He owes more than he’s swindled out of other people.
The put Capone in prison for taxes, the guy who brought down John Gotti is looking into Trump like you would a crime family. Perhaps the Trumps will be charged under the Rico law.
That’s a Big Bedroom. The first tax record dump was over 1,000,000 Pages.
You could get the feeling that, for every crooked deal he ever made, his lawyers included 500 pages of legal gobbledegook with the facts of the deal buried somewhere inside them just to make any Audits as difficult as possible.
After all, you are supposed to bury the bodies at least 6 feet deep.

And just like when he banned incoming travel from China, it was too late because his tax returns have already been released!

I’m just afraid he’ll find some way to wiggle out of anything. Unfortunately he always seems to get away with everything

I think the lesson is that even the most notorious crooks when they become President can run for a while but they can not hide for ever.

Aren’t those records being audited by the IRS? That’s what he told us. In 2016.

Too bad for Trump that his tax records were submitted to state and federal tax agencies long ago… or at least, some version of his tax records…
